Answer:
RT = 12 units
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure attached,
ΔSRQ is right triangle.
m∠R = 90°
An altitude has been constructed from point T to side SQ.
m∠RTQ = 90°
By applying geometric mean theorem in triangle SRQ,


x² = 16 × 9
x² = 144
x = √144
x = 12
Therefore, length of altitude RT is 12 units.
find y=mx+b for line parallel to AB.
The line that is parallel will have the same slope as line AB:
the slope of line AB is
m=(8-3)/(-10-2)
=5/-12
=-5/12
Since the line going through X is parallel the vertical distance of the new line to AB is the same for all values of the domain(x-axis).
at x=-5 the point X has the y value of 10 which is 4 more than the y value for AB based on the graph.
To find the intercept b of the line going through X that is parallel to AB we just add 4 to the intercept of AB, which is 4 so
4+4=8
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 16 classmates in total including bess and caroline. and there chances as one person is 1 out of those 16 classmates.
To get x by itself, you would add 13 to both sides. x=115
